ffSourceWriter / FFCodeGun v.4.20
Steven Mitchell
Just a note to say that the link that you supply for the Foundry does not
work for me unless I change ".../foundry.dll/..." to ".../foundry.exe/...".
Perhaps you could check this again from your end?

> ffSourceWriter (and the FFCodeGun utility) is a set of classes that
> are able to generate the ObjectPascal or C++ source code from any
> existing FFTable (FF1 or FF2). This code will, at run-time, create the
> very same table than the one which was used as a model.

> What's new?
> -----------
> * Fixed
> - FF2: incorrect default values with fftInt8 field type, causing FFCG
> to crash. The fix lead to drop the dependency upon ffxJFNutils unit
> (replaced with FlashFiler2 ffUtil unit).

> * Added

>
> FFCG is fully compatible and has been tested with D5.01 and D4.03,
> both with FF1.57 and FF2.12 libraries (without any local patch)
> under Win9x and WinNT4 SP6a.

> FFCG supports the following features
> ------------------------------------
>
> Auto-detect the FF databases and show their tables
> -- Supports FF1 and FF2
> -- Generate Pascal or C++ code
> -- In procedural mode
> * Generate a table creation procedure or a table dictionary
> function or both
> * Generate a series of stand-alone routines or bind them
> in a unit
> * Generate a call procedure that will successively call each
> creation routines. This procedure may alternatively be in
> the main code or external.

> -- In OOP mode (for more details, see Franz-Leo Chomse's
> TasgFFTableManager unit)
> * Generate a unit containing one class per table, with the
> corresponding dictionary method
>
> -- Generate the C++ header file
> -- Generate the database alias and path creation procedures
> -- Generate database information functions
> -- Generate field constants file
> -- Output code may be adjusted to fit your needs and habits
> -- Preview, modify and print the generated code
> -- Save the current settings for future reuse (in .gun files). To
> accomodate situations where you develop more than one DB at a

> -- Associate .gun extension to itself

> Requirements

> FFCG using two third-party components, you're required to download
